harryram Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Surely no ones daft enough to stump a large sum up he's hardly played this season, out of contract at the end. Good player but surely the fact he is never for must affect his wage demands when he's a free agent. Pay as you play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Great signing for them. I hope he has enough time to put himself in the England team this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think we did, rumours were we approached QPR, they were willing to do business but Charlie Austin was only willing to sign for a Prem club. Only rumours of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I don't think our strikers are the problem its the link up play between the midfield and forward line and yes martin is getting frustrated by it all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterRam Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 what did QPR pay for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernRam Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 And Martin has always been a bit idle, it's always been noticeable, but he used to manage to bang goals in none the less. In the same way that he always used to hit the floor like a sack of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Southampton on verge of completing £4m Austin deal Date published: Saturday 16th January 2016 11:49 QPR striker Charlie Austin is set to complete a move to Southampton on Saturday for a fee in the region. According to The Telegraph, the forward is understood to have passed a medical and agreed personal terms at St Mary’s after the two clubs agreed a fee this week. Rangers have opted to cash in on Austin with the 26-year-old’s contract due to expire in the summer. The former Burnley centre-forward, who was called into the England squad for the friendly against the Republic of Ireland in June, was the subject of interest from Leicester, Newcastle and Crystal Palace last summer, with the Foxes said to have had a £12million bid rejected by QPR. Austin has scored 10 goals in 16 Championship appearances this term but a hamstring injury has sidelined the hit-man for the last month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If we paid £3-4 million for Blackman, what does that say? What was Blackman supposed to be worth if he had not been out of contract at the end of the season? But... in short, he is either worth £3-4 million or he is not. If he gets ten goals for us then he is worth £4 million to us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top clubs often buy/sell players for £5m or less because the wages are vast. I bet Austin is now on a wage far higher than any of our players.

Comrade 86 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 They're making a net loss of £8 million on a player who's scored 10 in 16 games for them this season?!?! This makes me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment we are overpaying on fees and underpaying on wages, compared with Premier League clubs. Let's hope it's a transitional phase. Twitter fools are saying "why didn't we go for him" but of course we will have tried and been rebuffed. It largely comes down to only being prepared to move in this window for Premier League football (guaranteed beyond the next window) and with that wages that we can only dream of.
